Beit Hanoun crossing, Border checkpoint and bridge at Israel-Gaza Strip border
Description
The Beit Hanoun crossing is a border checkpoint between Israel and the Gaza Strip featuring modern terminal buildings designed for processing travelers. The facility includes multiple processing areas and security infrastructure for daily operations.
History
The checkpoint was established in the early 2000s and has experienced significant changes in daily traveler volumes since its opening. The reduction in crossings reflects the shifting political circumstances at the border.
Culture
The checkpoint serves as a crossing point where Palestinians, Israelis, and aid workers from different countries interact within the border procedures.
Practical
The checkpoint operates during specific hours for foot traffic and has limited operational days during the week. Visitors should plan to arrive early as processing can vary based on daily conditions.
Did you know?
The modern facility was built in the mid-2000s and designed with infrastructure concepts intended for much higher daily throughput rates. Today the structure operates far below its original design capacity.
